Summary: Major Disappointment
Review: After the superlative RIFTWAR SAGA, I had no idea where this book came from and the writing style was really off in comparison.What happened? Maybe Feist didn't want to write another so soon after being on contract? I don't know. Whatever the case, the writing was totally off of his usual, brilliant style and after reading this and the BUCANEER'S TALE, I came to the sad conclusion that I would no longer get the emotional resonance I had gotten from the RIFTWAR SAGA. A true pity. I think this is an okay read but I can think of some 30 to 40 fantasy novels alone that are better. George R.R. Martin's A GAME OF THRONES, for instance, and THE LEGEND OF HUMA or NINE PRINCES IN AMBER or ELFSTONES OF SHANNARA. If his books got much better since, email and let me know with reasons.

Summary: Excellent..Must read for Feist Fans
Review: Another excellent adventure tale by Raymond Feist. Mr. Feist can take minor charcters and create a spellbinding adventure tale. I have not read a book by Mr. Feist that I did not enjoy. He continues to build upon a unique and wonderful fantasy world...which I, for one, will revisit every chance I get.

Summary: A fun read
Review: Arutha's sons are sometimes thick in the head, but Feist has a great imagination. The story moves at a good clip and you can't help but be drawn into it. Feist colors his setting nicely also. A fun read and satisfies the desire for more on Midkemia. Read it.

Summary: Thanks, Feist, for another great novel
Review: As said before by another reviewer, this book is a little more mystery than the usual Feist fantasy, but that didn't make it any less adventuresome or captivating. It started out a little slow, but once it picks up it's hard to put down.
Feist is a phenomenal author. He weaves intricate tales of adventure, mystery, and magic into a complex, rich geographical background. He also holds true to established history and fits in nostalgic anecdotes for old fans.
I read Prince of the Blood in two days. Couldn't put it down.
This is my second time reading Feist's Riftwar and Serpentwar sagas.
I recommend reading this series from the beginning, starting with Magician, to get the full effect of the books that follow.

Summary: more down to earth than previous novels
Review: Compared to feists other novels there is little magic, this is more of a political murder mystery, and it works my hat is off to mr feist.

Summary: A big disappointment
Review: Feist can normally be relied on to provide and exciting, consistent, well characterised and well painted image of his world. Prince of the Blood seriously disappoints by Feist's high standards. Skip this and get straight onto the Serpentwar saga if it isn't too late for you already.

Summary: nice story
Review: Fiest is a good writer, and I like his stories, they are old fashioned swash buckling fun. It seems to me that a lot of the newer fantasy is written in todays languages with todays moralities and ideals. This book is written just like good ol fantasy you grew up with. Nice. Read all of Fiest, his stuff is pleasing to the eye and inner ear.

Summary: More of an Adventure/Mystery than a Fantasy
Review: Great novel, but not the usual from Mr. Feist. This novel does not contain the High Fantasy that is contained in the Riftwar and Serpentwar Sagas. However, this is still a fast paced fun read. Arutha's twin sons, Borric and Erland, are sent to the Empire of Kesh as diplomats regardless of the attempted assassination of Borric (heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Isles). They must avoid unknown enemies and maneuver thru the intrigues of the Keshian court.
Mr. Feist blends romance, mystery and comedy into this well-rounded tale. I particularly enjoyed Nakor the Isalani and his "Tricks". `Prince of the Blood' does not have an epic plot, however it does fit nicely into the overall story of the Kingdoms.

Summary: I loved this book!
Review: Has just about everything a fantasy fan could ask for. It has humor and tears and romance, just what I love in a nice fat novel. This is a great book even if you hadn't read the earlier trilogy. A lively tale, where engaging characters inhabit a well-rounded fantasy land.
